I am in the market for some Fessenden parts.
I especially need 2 or more legs and a knee lever mechanism.

I have always recorded with a PC.
What specs must a laptop have to effectively replace a PC?

I typically do about 6 tracks.

How is censorship implemented on those blogs?

It is not something one would automatically.

I will check out DigitalOcean.com

I am sure what you say with respect to htpps.
That certainly must be having effect.
But, all blogs that are censored have lost traffic due to censorship. Many of ...

There is another reason why I practice constantly.

I don't play well enough and practicing is the only way I know of to get any better.
